Year-on-year

FY2023 → FY2024 · period ending 2024-12-31 vs 2023-12-31

Each % is (latest − prior) ÷ |prior| for the line item as filed. The comparison is only shown when the latest and prior accounts cover broadly equal-length periods — short or long stubs (typical around incorporation or a year-end change) are suppressed rather than misrepresented. Lines a company doesn't report are omitted. About these numbers

Affirmed

“The directors have considered the future operating profits, cash flows and facilities available and concluded that the Company has considerable financial resources, along with access to a Revolving Credit Facility if needed and is well placed to manage its business risks successfully. The Directors of the Company are satisfied that EGHNV has the ability to provide this support, should it be required and that the Company will have continued access to the cash pooling arrangement within the Group. Given the continued parental support, the Directors deem it appropriate to prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis.”
